THE SUPER TROUPER II is shipped in sections which must be assembled. Lifting straps
mounted to the yoke pivot studs (see Figure 6, Item 2) are designed to bear the weight of the spotlight and base.
This permits assembling the spotlight on the floor and later hoisting it to an overhead spotlight position.
THE FOLDING BASE ASSEMBLY is shipped collapsed, and requires only folding the base
legs down and pinning the legs using the four T-bolts (Figure 6, Item 17) supplied. Screw the four leveling feet
and locknuts (Figure 6, Item 15) into the brackets at the end of each leg.
WHEN INSTALLED in a permanent location, the leveling feet and casters must be removed,
and the holes in the base leg brackets used for hardware (lag screws or bolts; user supplied) to secure the base
to the floor or platform. If it is desired to have the unit portable, when operating, the four leveling feet must be
adjusted down until the entire weight of the spotlight has been shifted from the casters to the leveling feet.
THE INNER TUBE below the support yoke is drilled with three holes to permit adjusting the
height of the spotlight. The three holes are on four-inch centers and will allow an optical height of approximately
53 inches, 57 inches, and 61 inches above floor level to the optical center of the lamphouse and lens
system. Insert the height location pin through the hole in the outer tube of the base column and one of the holes
in the inner tube. The leveling feet may be adjusted through an additional two-inch range.
THE HORIZONTAL PAN and vertical tilt locking knobs are on the right hand (from rear) side
of the yoke assembly. The yoke saddle is marked to indicate FRONT. Tighten both of these locking devices
securely before attempting to place the spotlight head (lamphouse and lens system) on the support yoke.
PLACE THE LAMPHOUSE and lens system on the yoke assembly, with the operator’s side of
the lamphouse (with arc viewing port) to the right side of the yoke saddle, the same as the yoke locking controls.
Line up the four mounting holes in thebottom plate of the support brace with the four slotted holes in the saddle
of the yoke assembly. Secure using the four 5-16/18 wing head screws and flatwashers. After mounting the
boomerang, loosen the tilt lock and test the spotlight balance at the desired projection angle. Loosen the (4) wing
head screws and slide the spotlight head in the slotted holes in the yoke saddle to achieve optimium balance.
MOUNT THE COLOR BOOMERANG to the front of the optical system with the color arms
facing the desired operation side. Align the three keyholes in the boomerang housing to the three mounting studs
on the front of the optical system housing. Lower the boomerang housing to engage the slots. Secure the bottom
of the boomerang housing to the support bracket on the bottom of the base rail using the thumbscrew provided.
ATTACH THE LAMPHOUSE CABLE CONNECTORS to the mating receptacles on the
lamphouse and power supply. The lamphouse and power supply connectors are keyed for correct pin alignment;
make certain pins are seated before tightening the locking ring. DO NOT energize the xenon power supply
before the xenon bulb is correctly installed into the lamphouse.
THE SUPER TROUPER II is wired for operation with the “compact” model Strong xenon
power supply Equipment Type 62-00002. If installing the Super Trouper II with an older model or type Strong
xenon power supply, a ground wire must be connected to the power supply’s MS connector Pin M. Operation
of the Super Trouper II with a xenon power supply other than a Strong 62- series will void UL compliance.
